Raging wildfires have engulfed Turkey outside the country's fourth-largest city - forcing hundreds of residents to flee their homes.
Flames ripped through the forested mountains surrounding Bursa city in northwest Turkey overnight, shining a threatening red glow on the night sky.
It marks the latest city to be hit by deadly blazes this summer - as destinations in Greece and Cyprus have also fallen victim to aggressive wildfires amid unseasonably high temperatures.
The governor's office in Bursa said more than 1,760 people had been safely evacuated from villages to the northeast as more than 1,100 firefighters battled the flames.
The highway linking Bursa to the capital, Ankara, was closed off as surrounding forests burned.
